title: [Artificial nutrition in acute pancreatitis].
abstract: Nutritional support for acute pancreatitis is a matter of debate, clear guidelines based on objective data do not exist. We report our experience in patients with severe disease. Parenteral nutrition appears to be a safe initial therapy, but the enteral route has many practical and theoretical advantages and should be started as soon as possible.
